The 181,333 figure for the four days is an increase of 36 per cent
over the same period at the end of Eid Al Fitr in 2013, when 133,007 passengers
took an Etihad Airways flight. The load factor for this period also rose from 79.3
per cent in 2013 to 88.1 per cent in 2014.

Peter Baumgartner,
Etihad Airways’ Chief Commercial Officer, said: “We’re delighted to have flown
this record number of passengers over the post-Eid al Fitr period, with record
load factors covering destinations from all corners of our global flight
network.

“Successfully
carrying more than 180,000 passengers during these four days is a fantastic
achievement for the airline and we thank our guests for choosing to fly with
Etihad Airways and helping set these records.”
